Arco Auto Center

Heard some unfamiliar noises in the car and could not figure out what it was for the life of me. This place came highly recommended by a couple of trusted co-​workers, so I decided to roll the dice and check it out.
Like the other reviews have stated, Ron is awesome! He came right out with a big smile on his face, introduced himself, and said, «Let’s take a look at this!». Within a few minutes, he let me know it was a very minor repair and would only take him 30 – 40 minutes to take care of! What a huge relief that was! He didn’t try to upsell me on unnecessary repairs or talk me into getting something else taken care of before it became a future problem. All of this cost me around $ 80!
This was easily one of, if not the absolute, best auto shop experience I have ever had. I made sure to grab a card as Ron and Arco Auto Center will be getting first shot at all my future business when it comes to my two older vehicles!
It’s never fun to deal with auto repairs, but Arco Auto Center provided fast, friendly and efficient service! All of this and at very fair prices! Next time you are in need of auto repair, definitely give this place a shot.
In advance: You’re Welcome! :)
5 stars.
Woohoo! As good as it freakin’ gets!

Mr Ron is the owner/​mechanic everyone wishes all mechanics would be like. Honest, fair, friendly and quick. Hes a very hard working man. He does the work of at least 3 people (Owner, manager, reception, mechanic) and thats why he can give the best prices in town. He just went from having 3 bays to 6 and service is still the same. I was referred to him by a friend 3 yrs ago and now i also refer everyone to him. I recently moved 15 miles further away and i still take my car to him. I dont know what i will do if i ever move away. He may keep me here for ever. Truly one of a kind and a model of success which all mechanics should strive to achieve.
I dont review often, only when i feel compelled. 5 stars or 1 stars only. I feel bad it took me this long to review. Sorry Ron, you deserved this a long time ago.
Edit: Someone posted that the shop is on the West side of Decatur and its not. Its on the East side. West of the the 15 and East side of Decatur. Very centrally located.

Came to Vegas and brought some customers and had to stay for a day, on my way to Vegas down the hills did not feel good about my brake performance, on my off parked day in Vegas thought to check in to a Mecanic to look in to my brakes, I called one of my friends who has been doing mecanic job in Vegas but is working in LA now, he gave me ARCO auto repair phone number, I called ARCO auto center and talked to Ron and from first contact on the phone he took care of me, when I got there, he put my 33 feet Limo right away on the jack and did a 100% customer satisfaction job, as I have mentioned in most of my reviews, due to my job and always working with auto repair shops unfortunately I do not see to many auto repair shop who really care for customers but Ron and ARCO auto center are one of the auto repair shop who really care for customers and do their best.
Thank you Ron, I appreciate your perfect work customer service.
God Bless you

I have used them for a few jobs that have always been done very quickly and at excellent pricing. Last week, my carthat only has 23,000 miles on it, the breaks started making a horrilble sound. I called to see if I could take it in. this was Saturday at 1pm, the owner told me they close early on weekends but for me to bring it in. I went there left the car a few hours he called me that they breaks were fixed.
These people are great, especially the owner.

One of the most honest mechanics around. Went to him after a bad experience with perfect auto. Would recommend him to everyone

This is the second time I have needed to see Ron. He is genuine in nature. His honesty & fair pricing will keep me a regular customer. I highly rrcommend him.

I’m let Ron to take care of my car for almost two years and never had any issues, he is very honest person and very professional, the rates always was reasonable, I’m very recommend this place ;)

Mr Ron is really honest person
His prices are fair.
Great place.
Same day drop off and pick up my cars.
I worked with a lot of vegas mechanics but this guy is something unique.
Recommend Arco auto center.
Ask for MR RON.
Just say pete from agam car rental sent you. lowest price guarantee !!!#

This place is amazing, my car was leaking oil all over the place and needed the valve cover gasket replaced. A shop close to my house quoted me $ 500 for the repair, which seemed like a complete rip off. Then I found Arco on Unilocal,and when I called them up Ron quoted me 250 for the same job.
I took my car there the next day, and the job was done quickly and neatly. They scraped the engine clean, and replaced everything that needed to be replaced at a very reasonable rate. I’m definitely coming back if my car needs anything else done.
One thing to keep in mind though is that for some reason when you enter this address into a map app it’ll say that the location is across the street from where it actually is. Arco is located on the West side of Decatur behind another auto shop.

Ron is the BEST mechanic in town! He’s friendly, hard-​working, and most of all — an honest man! Everytime when I’m in the room waiting for my car to be serviced, it’s always good to hear all of Ron’s customers singing his praises!

Ron is an honest car mechanic. I trust him completely. He is extremely competent. Never had a problem he couldn’t fix. Works on both foreign and domestic cars.

I have brought multiple cars to Ron with all sorts of problems. He is fair, honest, and compassionate in his business. He does his best to SAVE ME MONEY whenever he can. I love this guy. Seriously — I made him cookies.

Ron is a really honest and professional auto repair specialist. I have had him service my cars for more than four years with 5 star service every time.
I have had my employees and family friends also take their cars in for service. Every time with positive feedback.
He recently did a rear brake job on my wifes car for less than half of what the dealer quoted. It pays to go here. It’s not fancy but the repairs will be done right on time every time.
5 Stars for ARCO!

When my car battery died a couple of weeks ago, I got it towed it to the dealership, thinking the battery was still under warranty. Turns out, it wasn’t. Not only was the battery NOT under warranty, the dealership wanted to charge me $ 500 to replace the battery!!! ($ 220+ for the battery, plus $ 200+ for an hour and a half of labor to replace the battery, re-​configure the car’s computer, etc. and so forth.) I almost blew a gasket, literally and figuratively.
Someone I know recommended this place to me. I called and without telling him about the dealership, the owner/​mechanic quoted me $ 160 to do the same stuff. I knew this was a fair deal because AutoZone had provided a $ 148 quote for the battery. (Apparently, my car’s battery is in a funky spot so I couldn’t make my husband do it, requires a specific foreign battery and needs some kind of computer reconfiguration. Oy!)
One jumped car later, I was at Arco Auto Center at 9:30am on the same morning I called. I left the car, and next got a call at 11:00am that it was done and ready to be picked up. The car had a new battery (the same brand/​type the dealership said was $ 220+) and a two year battery warranty.
The business itself is situated towards the back of the complex (there’s a variety of mechanic shops), so it’s not actually visible from Decatur. Just keep driving ’till you hit the wall, literally.
I don’t know about the whole debit/​credit card deal. I paid in cash and got a slight break for paying with cash.
Overall, the place was very efficient, fair/​reasonable and provides quality work. It’s not a fancy place, but I’ll definitely take my car there again. No rip-​off in my opinion!
